Patch My PC is recommended because it’s lean, easy to use and competitively priced and it was developed by former Premier Field Engineers at Microsoft. Getting those patches into WSUS requires some outside help and there are several companies offering applications to help you with that task, one of which is called Patch My PC.

Microsoft provides updates for their supported operating systems and applications that can be downloaded manually or automatically on the client via Microsoft Update, or deployed using on premise infrastructures like WSUS or SCCM or even via cloud based technology such as Microsoft Intune and Windows Update for Business.īut what about on-premise patching of 3 rd party applications (applications that come from vendors other than Microsoft), those vendors usually provide their own patches to help secure their products, but because they are 3 rd party, they are not natively trusted by WSUS.

As part of that focus ongoing patching is a requirement, both of the operating system (quality updates and feature updates) and the application layer too.

Security is a bigger focus today than ever before, and rightly so.
